Your Hosts, Keith & Delwyn

Tirimoana House has long been known for its warmth, serenity, and personal touch — thanks to hosts Keith and Delwyn, who welcomed guests to their beloved bed & breakfast until 2020. During those years, the property earned glowing reviews for its stunning views, immaculate presentation, and above all, the genuine hospitality that made guests feel instantly at home.

Guests often praised:

“The most welcoming hosts we’ve ever met — nothing was too much trouble.”

“Keith and Delwyn made our stay unforgettable. Their local knowledge and kindness were second to none.”

“From the homemade breakfast to the thoughtful touches, it felt like staying with friends.”

In March 2020, like many around the world, we had to pause operations as New Zealand entered its first nationwide lockdown. It was not until September 1922 that the government finally removed all remaining mandates, including mask and isolation requirements, effectively ending New Zealand’s pandemic response measures. But sadly, by the time restrictions were lifted momentum for the B & B had been lost.

Though Tirimoana House now offers self-catering accommodation for a single suite, that same spirit of care and attention lives on in the Queen Charlotte Suite. Every detail — from the curated local guide to the plush linens and peaceful garden — reflects Keith and Delwyn’s commitment to comfort, privacy, and a truly restorative Marlborough experience.

Whether you're here to explore the Sounds, sample local wines, or simply unwind, you’ll find that Tirimoana House still carries the heart of its B&B legacy — quietly present, thoughtfully prepared, and always welcoming.

We welcome guests contacting us before their arrivals, if they would like our thoughts for activities and places to visit depending on their preferences.

We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful home in this most stunning location.
